This past fall, Pawling High School students in the Environmental Science, Creative Crafts and Sculpture classes were privileged to participate in a project under the direction of Aurora Robson, a nationally known sculptor and environmental activist.

Meet at Patterson Environmental Park before 10:00am for a paddle to Pine Island and a hike to Hawk's Rest. Bring your own boat and PFD (personal flotation device). We'll start the event with a paddle to Pine Island, "the heart of the Great Swamp." Once there, we'll hike up to Hawk's Rest and back to the boats.

Nature photography workshop with Lonna Kelly (www.lonnakelly.com). Adventure along the Appalacian Trail in Pawling, NY and learn about nature photography techniques and composition. All levels of photographers are welcome.

Two-hour guided canoe trips from Green Chimneys. Adults and children 6 and over welcome.

Leaving at: 8:30 AM, 10:30 AM & 1:45 PM

Join FrOGS and Naromi Land Trust members on a butterfly walk through the Upland Pastures Preserve in Sherman, CT.

Those interested will meet at the site to paint, sketch, photograph, etc. in any medium they chose. It's a great way to get engaged with seeing and working in the Swamp, and hopefully create some work to be entered in our art contest at our Celebration of the Great Swamp
